The best restaurants serving American food in North East

…. We always like to try out new takeaways/restaurants/pubs so decide to try the Garden Lane Kitchen and bar. We liked the descriptions of the burgers, kebabs and pizzas but settled for a mixed ‘dona’ box and one chicken loaded fries. The food was received on time but it needed warming up which is a bit annoying. The loaded fries came in a quirky style square box but when opening the silver foil covered box with the ‘dona’ in we were totally surprised by the lack of meat. All the salad is nice but you’re paying for the meats and despite being tasty there was a lack of it. This spoiled our first experience of this venue.

A very disappointing visit. We returned our starters because no cheese or jalapeños had been added. The kitchen hadn’t even started preparing our main meals by this point - even though we were the only diners there. We cancelled our order and left. Sad experience as we’d been very much looking forward to the evening.

Excellent customer service. Staff hardworking. Best wetherspoons pub I have been to. Staff clear tables promptly and keep tables clean ready for next person. No having to ask for table to be cleared and wiped down as happens in other Wetherspoons pub.

Excellent place to stay , fantastic staff very helpful.. Very close to main town Fab breakfast Very well presented and very clean and tidy .

Good mocktails, food standard nothing spectacular won’t be rushing there again, lovely staff. The burger tasted like any other takeaway cheese burger nothing that wow...

Needed a convenient place for food after visiting Dad in nearby nursing home and found the Victory. Friendly and welcoming with a great menu reasonably priced food freshly cooked to order. We all enjoyed our meals and felt very satisfied afterwords. We are happy to recommend.

On a mission to explore the West Sunniside area of Sunderland as despite knowing the number of bars and restaurants etc in area is growing just have never got round to trying them. Called here for a drink after a spontaneous Saturday evening trip to one of the nearby restaurants... lovely place, really relaxed atmosphere and very enjoyable visit. Will definitely be back

NEVER FAILS !!! I always get the same drink iced vanilla latte w vanilla and soy/ oat milk and its sooo good, amazing service also !!!

This is my first time in Costco. I have to the staff are amazing. They are polite and professional. The range is extensive and the prices can be very cheap. My only issue is that due to its size and it is huge, there are no rest stations for disabled people on walking sticks. Whilst I can push a trolly using it as my sticks I needed to rest now and again and it was impossible. That meant I only shoped about a third of Costco. I will have to leave the rest till next time. A real missed opportunity. The unit is easily big enough to have rest stations for the disabled.

Lovely food. Excellent service. Great location. Good value for money. My sea bass with noodles was delicious.

Once a fabulous shop is now terrible! Untidy shelves, products regularly unavailable, queues at the few checkouts ... will not shop there again!

Disappointed with the new layout of the communal areas. It was much better when it was a seperate bar and restaurant. We went for a relaxing family birthday meal (our 2 course meal was included in our room rate) and found it to be anything but relaxing. No designated eating areas therefore we were surrounded by drunk, rowdy people knocking our chairs whilst we were trying to eat our food and generally being disruptive. Tables are too close together. The new work space where the bar used to be is a waste of space at the weekend. I think the hotel would benefit from creating a section for people who are having meals and a section for drinks only. There's nowhere else to sit in the hotel for guests. Couldn't fault our meals or the service however will not be returning for food at the hotel, we will just dine elsewhere if we ever stay again.

Place as locked up! A customer had to let me in as they lock the front door. Place feels like a prison. Perspex everywhere!!! I wouldn't mind but they don't even accept cash! So what do they think is going to be robbed? Not at all a family friendly look and feel.

Got a calzone last night but couldn’t ring the shop as it was shut the pizza dough wasent even cooked

Highly recommend walking the extra 3 minutes to a different chain as the staff here are rude, incompetent and generally bad at their jobs.
